A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) logic throughout: curves are broad and controlled, corners are softened, and many bowls read slightly squarish rather than purely circular. Strokes are sturdy and consistent with minimal modulation, producing dense, high-impact letterforms and a compact internal counter feel. Uppercase construction is clean and blocky with simple terminals, while lowercase shows a tall, utilitarian rhythm with mostly closed apertures and straightforward joins. Numerals are similarly robust and clear, matching the overall solid, signage-like texture.
Best suited to headlines, branding, packaging, posters, and signage where a dense, sturdy texture helps copy hold its shape at larger sizes. The rounded-superellipse construction also works well for UI/label-like applications that benefit from a contemporary, engineered look.
The tone is modern and confident, with a friendly edge from the rounded geometry. It feels pragmatic and contemporary—more engineered than expressive—making text appear assertive, stable, and easy to scan at a glance.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, contemporary sans voice built from rounded-rectilinear geometry—prioritizing impact, uniformity, and quick recognition while avoiding sharpness through softened corners.
The overall color on the page is dark and even, with counters that stay relatively tight in letters like a, e, and s. Rounded corners and squarish bowls give the face a tech-forward, product-oriented personality while keeping forms approachable.
